PANTALOONS AND TROUSERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 265,983, dated October17, 1882. Application flied Deeember 7,1881. (No model.)

To all whom t may concern: v

Be it known that I, GRowELL H. RYNo, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented certain new and useful improvements in waistingsfor trousers or pantaloons and other analogous articles ofwearing-apparel, of which the following is a full, clear, and exactdescription.

This invention, although designed with special reference to pantaloonsfor boys-such, for instance, as are fastened to the jacket or waist bymeans of buttons and buttonholes is applicable equally as well towearing-apparel in general having a similar fastening device.

The object ofthis invention is to provide an improvedwaisting orwaistband attachment for boys pantaloons and similar articles of Wearwhich shall possess all the characteristics of those now in use, and atthe same time overcome a serious objection to them in so reenforcing andconstructing the waisting as to prevent the button-holes formed therein,when subjected to severe or undue strain, from tearing out or givingway, which has heretofore been a source ot' great inconvenience and adrawbackto the universal adoption of pantaloons of this pattern.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure l' represents a pair ot pantaloonsor trousers with my improved waisting attached. Fig. 2 represents adetail view of said waisting partly in section.

In said drawings, A represents an ordinary pair of boys7 trousers orpantaloons; B, my improved waisting, which is provided with button-holesa. On the free edge of said waisting B, and just above the button-holesa, are incorporated or otherwise suitably secured cords b, (seen indotted lines in the drawings, and also in full lines where the materialcomposing the waisting is broken away,) which extend thelength of saidwaistin g, and serve t0 reenforce and strengthen the button-holes formedtherein to such an extent as to prevent them from tearing out or givingway when subjected to severe or undue strain. My improved waisting issewed or otherwise suitably fastened to the inside of the waistband O ofthe pautaloons in the same manner as the ordinary waisting now in use.It is obvious,how ever, that my invention can easily and readily besubstituted for the usual waisting now used on pantaloons or trousers ofthis pattern without altering or changing the same inany manner.

My improved waisting may be made of linen or cotton, or any fabricsuitable for the purpose.

Pantaloons or trousers having my improved waisting attached do notrequire constant repairing, and the cord o1' cords so strengthen andre-enforee the waisting that it will ontlast trousers or pantaloonstowhich it is applied, and can be used again and again until wor out.

In conclusion, I would state that I do not confine myself to thearrangement of cords above the button-holes only, inasmuch as a cord orcords may also be placed both above and below the same, according to thetaste or desire of the manufacturer.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and desire to secure byLetters Patent, is

A waisting or waistband attachment for trousers, provided with one 0rmore cords incorporated in and extending the length of the waistingabove, or both above and be1ow,the button-holes formed therein, as andfor the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand this 23d day of April,1881.
